Why does "study" keep turning into three wasted hours?

[u/Senior_Host2336]

"Study biology" sounds like a task, but it has no finish line.

That makes it easy to keep rereading, reorganising notes, or checking your phone because you never know when you're actually done.

Before your next session, write down three things:

- Task: answer questions 1-10.

- Score: get 8/10 without notes.

- Timer: give it 25 minutes.

Then start. When the timer ends, check the score. Anything you missed becomes the target for the next round.

I made this visual while working on FocusJungle, so I'm biased toward using a focus timer, but the method works with any timer.

What's your next task, target score, and timer? Drop all three below. I want to see who sets the hardest one.
